Every owner or lessee of a tract of land abutting upon any railroad or railway, or through
which any railroad or railway has been or may be constructed, who has built a hog-tight fence
along all sides of such land, except the side abutting against the railroad right of way, may
demand of the owners or operators of such railroad or railway that the right of way adjacent to
such tract of land be enclosed with a hog-tight fence. Upon such demand, such owners or
operators shall erect the hog-tight fence and maintain the same in good repair so long as the
owner of such tract of land shall continue to maintain a hog-tight fence around the other sides of
the enclosure.
